What measures does Highmark take to ensure compliance with healthcare regulations?

Highmark takes a comprehensive approach to ensure compliance with healthcare regulations by both implementing policies and training staff. This dual strategy is crucial because effective compliance requires not just establishing clear guidelines and procedures, but also ensuring that employees are knowledgeable about these regulations and know how to apply them in their daily work.

Implementing policies creates a framework for compliance, helping to set expectations and standards for operations within the healthcare environment. These policies ensure that the organization aligns with state and federal regulations, promoting safe and ethical practices.

On the other hand, training staff is vital for reinforcing those policies. Regular training sessions help staff understand the importance of compliance, keep them updated on changes in regulations, and empower them to identify and address potential compliance issues proactively.

By integrating both policy implementation and staff training, Highmark effectively fosters a culture of compliance where everyone understands their roles and responsibilities, significantly reducing the risks of violations and enhancing overall quality of care.
